Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, is making a comeback in the tech industry as the co-CEO of a new AI company, Project Prometheus. According to reports from the New York Times and Ars Technica, the company aims to leverage AI for advancements in research, engineering, and manufacturing within the ‘physical economy,’ distinct from conventional software applications of AI.
Joining Bezos as co-CEO is Dr. Vik Bajaj, a seasoned chemist and physicist with prior experience in leading life sciences initiatives at Google X and Verily. Project Prometheus marks Bezos’ return to a CEO role since his departure from Amazon in 2021, where he now holds no CEO title. The venture signifies Bezos’ foray into a new realm of AI-driven innovation beyond his previous tech endeavors.
